Idea for solution to corrupted files

Hi there!

I work on the animation industry.

We've come across a typical issue many times randomly about Photoshop files becoming corrupted and usless after hours of work.

We create lots of visual content and it is very frustrating whenever that happens, specially during deadlines.

I thought of an idea/suggestion to make this a bit less painful but I'd like to know if that would be possible to achieve in terms of programming as I'm not a coder of any sorts.

If there only could be a way for Photoshop to take a simple and quick flattened screenshot image of the file you're currently working on everytime you save the document. So each time you save it, the screenshot would replace the previous one with the same name, preventing to take too much space by creating a new image every time. That screenshot would be created as a background process and stored in the same folder of the file maybe, or a folder of the user choice as default.

This is not a solution for corrupted files, but I think it would be of huge help if you need to start over a painting for example, as you would be able to check the last result you produced before the document became corrupted. It's a little idea that could ease an artist mind a little bit by having a visual reference.

Hope this makes sense and it could be taken as a serious suggestion.

Thank you!
